cl any moment during the past twelve
months, and this we attribute to the
het that the employer and, the cm-
Cloved are rapidly getting much closer
together than they have ever before
been. We have had trouble with the
longshoremen, which caused no end of
ineaslness, and was the means of dis
turbing business conditions as they
itve not been disturbed before In
rears.
"Organized labor Is In excellent
shape, and the working people are
ireparlng to celebrate Labor Day by
isrades, demonstrations, addresses,
tc„ through which they hope to com
mand the attention, respect and confi
dence of their fellow-workmen and the
American people.”
